We interrupt this thread to bring you Buzzetta's thoughts and how to put an end to drama....
Press play as you read and thank me later.
I think that a lot of this could easily be put to rest if there was a value cap placed on things. You could pay whatever you wanted in order to ship your item but there should definitely be a range where everyone could participate and no one would feel hurt.
I got no pony in this race kiddies.
Perhaps like in the $25-35 range. Then things are of value, the thread runs its course and then there you go. Want to go $40 to $50... whatever...
Just keep in mind that sometimes the natural tendency of these things is to feel compelled to one up the ante in order to show appreciation for what was claimed. Eventually it gets to the point that someone is not going to be able to reciprocate and others will have hurt feelings.
However, as the Paul, John, Ringo and George said... (I'm tired of everyone putting Ringo last)
"And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make."
